There's a world on the other side of this with a huge, vibrant, unionized and high-paying industrial base remaking the physical world for the post-fossil fuel age. It's already starting and I think even Trump can't *fully* destroy it, but he can slow it down and make us lag wayyy behind.

you can join a "professional org" like TCTA but it's just lawyer rep. for drastic situations (ones that involve local press). the state is anti-union: if you strike, then you lose license and pension. you're a contract employee with god-awful health insurance (I left the state to teach elsewhere)

It can't be true that a major party presidential candidate is a drooling incompetent fascist. If that's true what on earth are we doing here reporting on it like its normal? So you resolve the cognitive dissonance by coming up with elaborate rationalizations for their behavior.

that's two anecdotal pieces of evidence that don't exactly prove anything other than you had a good experience because you're an involved parent

I'm glad you had a good experience; does talking to someone that way give you the feeling of moral superiority?

basically every time the media describes a very rich and powerful person's crime as novel or complex the crime can be very accurately described as "fraud"

It's like looking at the sun. "America is structurally in thrall to a party that will say whatever it takes to sustain the money & attention it needs from its base for the project of making rich people richer, even if some of their supporters go on to decapitate their parents." Can't stare too long.
